Liver SWE Routine Practice, Transforming Patient Care
Liver stiffness measurement has emerged as a critical biomarker in the management of various chronic liver diseases, and portal hypertension. Liver shear wave elastography (SWE) provides a non-invasive, reproducible, and accurate assessment of liver stiffness measurement, and offers radiologists a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in patient care. This lecture will emphasize the importance of incorporating SWE into routine clinical practice. Practical tips for optimizing SWE, interpreting results, and integrating findings into multidisciplinary care will be discussed. By embracing SWE, radiologists can not only enhance diagnostic precision but also significantly contribute to improved patient outcomes and early intervention strategies. The future of liver imaging is now—let’s lead the way.
